At the 2008 CEC Convention in Boston, DADD (then DDD) honored Senator Ted Kennedy with its Distinguished Legislator award. On behalf of the division, Dr. Robert Stodden presented the award to Senator Kennedy.

DADD voted to move its annual business meeting from the annual CEC Convention to the DADD annual conference. DADD will still maintain a presence at CEC, but the business meetings and awards will move to the DADD conference. Check out the DADD statement on this issue.
